Ashes of a Broken God

By N K Aning

Seven hundred years ago, the gods vanished and the world froze.

In the age since their disappearance, humanity has survived by blame and belief. Cities cling to life beneath endless winter. And those born with traces of divine power, the godborn are hunted, and executed, accused of prolonging the world's ruin.

Kai has lived his life in hiding, knowing only that something about him is dangerous enough to get him killed.

When a public execution triggers visions he cannot explain and his sanctuary is destroyed, Kai is forced into a world shaped by fear and inhabited by creatures older than memory. Guided by a forbidden book and a map to the long-abandoned Old World, he begins a journey across fractured lands where the scars of ancient war still tear open the earth.

Along the way, Kai is joined by Isera, a survivor who has lost everything to the gods and trusts nothing touched by them. As starving divinities stir, human factions clash, and the past begins to surface in broken fragments, Kai is drawn toward a truth buried so deeply it threatens to unmake everything the world believes about itself.

At the heart of the Old World, with gods closing in and humanity watching, Kai will face a choice no one has made before, one that offers no victory, no absolution, and no escape from its cost.
